Yesterday, Office Depot launched a new small business self-service site and a contest that will award more than $1 million in prizes to 500 small businesses.
The site, Survival of the Smartest, offers great small business resources, including expert advice in the form of articles & columns and a TON of downloadable forms and templates that’ll help both new and existing small businesses along their entrepreneurial journey. They also feature special product and service offers and store promotions designed specifically for small businesses.
In conjunction with the launch of The Survival of the Smartest, Office Depot began a search for the nation’s best and smartest small businesses. The “Office Depot Adopt a Small Business Contest” will recognize 500 small businesses, awarding them each with a $1,300 Office Depot Gift Card, tech support for one year from Office Depot’s Tech Depot Services, and copy, print, and ship services from Office Depot’s Design, Print, and Ship center. The total prize value is over $2,000.
To enter the contest, upload an original two-minute video that outlines the smart things your company is doing to survive these difficult times. Visit the site for official rules and regulations.
According to Steve Strauss, a renowned small business expert and author who will write articles for The Survival of the Smartest, the site is geared to entrepreneurs who DIY and is a very interactive experience.
A note from The Mogul Mom: When I tried to open up The Survival of the Smartest in Google Chrome, it crashed my computer–twice. I then opened it up in Mozilla Firefox and it was fine except for the fact that it’s VERY slow-loading. There is a TON of great information on there–I just suggest that you use the menus on the left to navigate the site.
